Question

Solve for x. Leave your answer in simplest radical form.
X
8
7
10

Answer 1

x = 14.5945195193

Explanation:

c² = a²+b²

c² = 7²+10² = 49+100

c² =149. ........take both sides by radical

√c²= √149

c= 12.2065556157

c² = a²+b² = x²

x² = 8²+(12.2065556157)²

x² = 64 + 149

x² = 213. .....take both sides by radical

√x² = √213

x = 14.5945195193
